You're just calling me a troll because I have an opinion different
from yours. That's very small minded.

This is the first time I recall you admitting your stance as an opinion
and not a fact. Perhaps that's why you're being called a troll.

Differences of opinion are more than welcome here, but when you act like
your opinion is the only one valid, you're going to take some hits.

And rightly so.

As I said people call others trolls when they disagree with them. Sad
but true.

Too bad they didn't have that surgery named after that one guy, else he
could've pitched into his 40s!

Every surgery he has is TJ surgery.

If I treated people as trolls because I disagreed with them, I'd have
disappeared from usenet years ago. The disagreement is what I like, it's
what keeps me coming back.

You I call a troll because you behave like one - you enter a new forum
insistent on trying to piss people off by being rude and dismissive, proudly
announcing that you don't need to think about things and don't terribly care
what people say in response to you.

But would he have considered himself the luckiest man in the world,
otherwise?

I think he just called it "surgery".

Funny, I don't recall ever using the words "end of thread," as if I have
the last word, and no further opinions are valid.

Yes, I have strong opinions about certain issues, but I don't claim my
opinions as fact.
